Hmmmm I'll roll with the EA thing!

First we'll need some corporate synergy! I'm thinking paid expansions.....you buy them, you get little Thorax decorations and such for yer guns! What guns? Battlefield gunz!

Next we're going to need to punish everybody for any type of RMT and piracy that can't even happen! Lets kill multi-box mining with an endless motor skills based minigame that can be botted anyway and lets make the minigame calculations server side to ensure instantly overloaded servers with 5 hour queues.

Did I mention expansions!?!?!?

Lastly we're going to need to make EvE Online appeal to the masses. So many players are so far ahead that we'll need to go pay to win for the noobs. Internet spaceships is also real hard so we'll need an autopilot button that engages in combat for you and of course all development will now go into WiS which will now be done The Sims style.

We're going to kill this ****** worse than Command and Conquer, thanks for the money, suckers!

Make jovespace safesec. Yellowboxing fellow capsuleers will incur JoveCORD which will also pod you, all stargates have a toll fee, only 1 asteroid belt with 5 veldspar rocks per system and you need an NPC mining permit to mine there. No permits in cargo means JoveCORD will stamp you out for yellowboxing said asteroid, NPC tax rate for trading is 95%, you can only haul minerals into Jovian space. Any indies with anything else will be shot at. All Jovian stargates are bubbled 200 km and everyone will be webbed when within said radius and has to type out the Jovian National Anthem while slowboating all the way. You are not allowed to cyno out.

AFK Mining is not allowed in Jove space the JoveCORD requires pilots that are mining to follow their instruction or else get shot at. Dropping any deployables is not allowed, only characters with 5.0 sec status are allowed inside Jove Space. Local chat is heavily censored and anything caught by the censor will result in your ship getting JoveCORDED. If you are docked you will be forced to undock and be shot at.

Also I will announce the development of EVE 2 for the PS4 and XBOX one.

Post with your NPC alt main and not your main main alt!

I would immediately close the forums to the public and find a way to monetize them. Clearly this is the most enticing feature for bittervets.

PLEX for Poasting!

I don't judge people by their race, religion, color, size, age, gender, or ethnicity. I judge them by their grammar, spelling, syntax, punctuation, clarity of expression, and logical consistency.

Hats.

Starting with Top Hats, wearable only if you have a monocle.

Then fedoras. Which cause the growth of a patchy beard.

Woo! CSM XI!

Hello, Random NPC forum alt #5759485945676!!!!

We at The Institute For The Study Of Pssshhh Development have concluded that your thoughts mean little. Big smile



And your thoughts mean very little to me.

After all, I was just answering the OP, at least the title of the thread.

And why would he care about you playing or not? He sold it, customer satisfaction & retention are not his problems anymore. Lol

I think they would possibly prefer to lose a chunk of the existing playerbase and gain ten times as many, err, how shall I say it, "non-niche" gamers.

i'd fix standings, -5 and you cant dock.......its stupid you can be -10 to rats yet live in their station and farm them.
also if you kill someone you get a hit from all corp that blue to him and a buff from all that are red.
-5 and the gate guns should also own you. Corp should be able to fit guns to their gates and stations ...thats what sov. should be for. Also outposts should be distructable, but upgradeable to non distructable stations

Remove non consensual pvp.

And no longer lose ships permanently, you will simply spawn back in a new ship at your home station.

Personally permaban everyone who starts an "AFK Cloaking is bad because..." or a "Why can people gank me...," thread.

Also, institue daily beer thirty meetings and possibly double the size of the development team so we can introduce new bugs at a hitherto unforeseen rate.

De'Veldrin's Corollary (to Malcanis' Law): Any idea that seeks to limit the ability of a large nullsec bloc to do something in the name of allowing more small groups into sov null will inevitably make it that much harder for small groups to enter sov null.
